Spiracoustic Plus System*... For All Your Round Duct Liner Needs
Specification or Standard Round Duct Liner Description
ASTM G 21 and G 22 X The Spiracoustic Plus System from Johns Manville is a comprehensive
group of duct lining products specifically engineered to provide very high
State of Washington Building Services
acoustical and thermal performance in round air ducts of virtually any size.
Department requirements for emissions
of Total Volatile Organic Compounds Based on high-density fiber glass board technology, Spiracoustic Plus has
(TVOC) and formaldehyde (CHOH) in factory-made, evenly-spaced kerfs to allow the material to conform to the
accordance with ASTM D 5116 X inside diameter of round air ducts. The airstream surface and transverse
edges are coated with Johns Manville’s proprietary black Permacote®
NFPA Standards 90A and 90B X acrylic polymer. The coating is treated with an immobilized protective
ASHRAE 62 X agent, specifically registered with the EPA for HVAC duct applications,
UL 181/ASTM C 1071 Air Erosion Test X to protect the coating against potential microbial growth.
ULC S102-M88; FHC 25/50 X Spiracoustic Plus eliminates the need for costly double-wall insulation practice in round air duct,
ASTM E 84; FHC 25/50 X and provides consistent thermal and acoustical performance throughout.
The bottom line: comfort with peace of mind.
